The Boston Bruins opened the season with three straight defeats home at TD Garden but are off two big road wins at Colorado (6-2) and Arizona (5-3). Traditionally a strong home-team we can expect the Bruins to make it three wins in a row when they return home to host the Philadelphia Flyers Wednesday night.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Road Woes - The Flyers opened the season with a couple of road losses at Tampa Bay and Florida and have won only 13 of their last 53 away from home. They've lost five straight meetings with the Bruins at TD Garden.

2. The Bruins Power Play - The Bruins converted on three of six chances on the man advantage at Arizona Saturday, the second time this season they've scored three power play goals in the same game. Their 38.9% conversion rate for the season is the best mark in the NHL.

3. X-Factor - Philadelphia has been limited to one goal in three of its last four games. That won't cut it here against a Bruins team that is averaging 3.6 goals per game which is second best only to the Capitals 3.8.
